Caring Hands Animal Hospital 121 North Blvd. Clinton, NC 28328 Small Animal Associate Veterinarian If your ideal veterinary day includes routine medicine, interesting walk-ins, urgent cases, surgery, and the occasional “well, we weren’t expecting THAT today” you may feel right at home at Caring Hands Animal Hospital . Serving the Clinton, North Carolina community since 1919, Caring Hands is a busy, privately owned small animal hospital that blends the relationships and variety of general practice with the fast pace and interesting caseload of urgent care, emergency medicine, hospitalization, and advanced surgery. Our walk‑in model means no two days look exactly alike. Alongside routine preventive and medical cases, our doctors regularly manage urgent patients, hospitalized cases, advanced soft‑tissue procedures, and orthopedic surgeries. We believe in providing gold‑standard recommendations while also recognizing that excellent veterinary medicine sometimes means finding a plan B, C, or D that works for the family in front of us. Our clients come from all walks of life, and we’re looking for a veterinarian who is compassionate, adaptable, down‑to‑earth, and motivated by helping both pets and their people. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced veterinarian who enjoys variety and wants the freedom to use their skills, or for a motivated new graduate looking for hands‑on mentorship. Our two experienced veterinarians are happy to tailor mentorship to the individual, whether you learn best by jumping in with support nearby or prefer more guidance as you build confidence.
